The system's ban on troops disrupted Yang Rui's plan to attack Cao, and it was also impossible to target Yuan Shao in the north. Yang Rui simply stayed in Xuzhou for a while to deal with the unfinished matters.

However, the famine mentioned in the system announcement is indeed quite serious. It can be seen that the little emperor Liu Xie, the Chang'an City of Yongzhou, personally inquired about disaster relief. It can be said that the situation in a few prefectures and counties such as Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou is better, and the famine situation in other prefectures and counties is not optimistic.

This can be intuitively reflected from the changes in food prices in the game.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was also a year of famine. At that time, the food price generally reached 20 copper coins-40 copper coins per unit, and the highest price was only fifty or sixty copper coins per unit.

However, the current price of grain often hovers over seventy or eighty copper coins per unit. It is common for more than 100 copper coins. Even in some remote areas, the price of grain sometimes exceeds 200 copper coins, which has increased several times compared with the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

When measuring just from the perspective of monetary returns, the sharp rise in grain prices is a good thing for Yang Rui. At present, due to the implementation of the military farm system and resource exchange system in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, grain production has long been very abundant. In addition to some reserves, a large amount of grain is used for export.

According to statistics made by Wei Xiuer when she was idle at the end of the year, in just six months of the second half of the fourth year of Chuping (193), Yang Rui's income from selling grain in Qingzhou and Yanzhou territories reached more than 2 million gold coins, with an average of more than 300,000 gold coins being recorded every month, which is no lower than the money reward Yang Rui received in the plot of the Xuzhou dispute.

The reason for this situation was, on the one hand, due to natural disasters. In the late Han Dynasty, the locust plagues never stopped. In addition, the princes attacked each other, and the living conditions of the NPC civilians were even much worse than during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

It is really turmoil in all directions, and the people are living in poverty. In many regions, there are even a small population. In this case, it is necessary to rest and recuperate. However, the system's ban on soldiers still made Yang Rui feel very upset.

However, thinking that there is still a reputation value task to be done at hand, and there are also copies of the warriors and warriors to be brushed, and the historical generals/historical scholars provided by Dragon Soul and others to be subdued, Yang Rui no longer has too much trouble with historical facts that are difficult to change at the moment.

In fact, what Yang Rui was worried about was not necessarily eliminating the threats of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes, but changing the plot route set by the system. If you think about it carefully, the result of the Xuzhou dispute has been considered a change.

Among historical facts and legends, Xuzhou should be temporarily occupied by Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and the capital where Liu Bei is located is still in Pengcheng. The current form has actually changed. Not only did Lu Bu fail to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, but Liu Bei's situation is also quite different.

The most important thing is that Yuan Shu intervened in the Xuzhou area, and Yang Rui himself captured a large area of ​​land from Xuzhou. Even if the area controlled by Yang Rui was not the largest among the princes at this time, it was almost enough, and the level of wealth should be difficult for other forces to compare.

Therefore, although he failed to eliminate the threat from Cao Cao's power as he wished, Yang Rui's advantage over Cao Cao was undoubtedly expanded a lot. As long as he maintained this advantage, why worry about not being able to gain a foothold in the game?

After understanding this, Yang Rui no longer struggled with the issue of the system's ban on troops. Instead, he devoted himself to dealing with matters within the Xinde Xuzhou area.

At this time, the shortage of manpower in Yang Rui's hands was once again clearly reflected. Yang Rui's newly acquired 5 counties and 35 counties in Xuzhou all needed to appoint relevant personnel to manage it. For a moment, Yang Rui obviously could not produce so many talents.

The county magistrates, county magistrates, and county towns can also take the original positions with previous personnel, as long as they are willing to obey Yang Rui and cooperate with the implementation of various policies.

However, heavyweight positions like the prefect of Langya County and the prefect of Donghai County naturally need to be placed in place, and almost all the places were obtained by Yang Rui, so the prefect was led by Yang Rui.

Within a while, the positions of the prefects of the two counties could only be vacant. General Huang Zhong, the general of the attack on the enemy, and his daughter Huang Wudie, led 200,000 troops to temporarily guard Langya County.

For this reason, Yang Rui also planned to find a position specifically for Huang Wudie, but Guo Jia and others believed that it was not in line with the system and it was not possible in the end.

Guo Jia even secretly told Yang Rui that even if he was seeking a military position for Huang Wudie, it would be very difficult to be able to take Huang Wudie as his wife. The best way is to take Huang Wudie as his wife, and the title of leading troops to fight will be enough!

Unexpectedly, Yang Rui stayed speechlessly for a while after hearing Guo Jia's words.

At the same time, Yang Rui ordered General Zhao Yun of Yi Army and General Dian Wei of Wuwei to lead 200,000 troops to guard Donghai County.

Yang Rui and Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao temporarily stayed in Siwu County and cooperated with the Ganning Navy to temporarily manage several counties in Pengcheng County, Xiapi County and Guangling County.

At this time, a large group of players such as Longhun also provided Yang Rui with candidates for some official positions such as Xiapi County Magistrate, County Magistrate, and County Magistrate. The position of the county magistrate was actually the Lieyan Feixue, who had been in charge of negotiating with Yang Rui before!

The identity of this woman does not seem to be simple! Yang Rui had actually noticed this before.

When Yang Rui was discussing territory transactions with large players such as Longhun, Lieyan Feixue was able to make the decisions on his own, including the two conditions that Yang Rui had finally put forward, which were conveyed to the traceability of Longhun and others through the woman's approval.

From this we can also see the outstanding identity of Lieyan Feixue.

Regardless of the other party's identity, Yang Rui did not hesitate too much and directly expressed the role of the county magistrate of Xiapi County. All other positions were listed one by one according to the list provided by major player organizations such as Dragon Soul, and then decided.

Since Yang Rui handed over Xia Pi City to players such as Traceback* Dragon Soul, he was not prepared to interfere in anything about the city, although Xia Pi City was also under the jurisdiction of Yang Rui.

Moreover, large player organizations such as Dragon Soul have handed over the task scroll of the Warriors dungeon to Yang Rui, and also provided the list and detailed information of the first historical celebrity/historical general. Yang Rui was also making plans and was preparing to go and try to conquer the person as soon as possible, and brush the Warriors dungeons in the next time.

"Brother Lieyang, I'm really sorry to bother you again now..."
